Training Camp in Sheffield

The weekend of 14th and 15th of January saw Chris Griffiths travel up to Sheffield with Ryan Oyler and Lewis Williams to train with some of the BTTF Olympic squad. This is a fantastic opportunity for Chris to see how professional players conduct themselves on a daily basis. Chris was accompanied by Ryan Jenkins national coach and hopefully Chris will have learnt a lot from the weekend that he can bring back to Ferndale.

Junior 6 Nations Selection

Chris Griffiths has been selected to represent Wales at the Junior 6 Nations event on the 9th-11th of March. Chris will compete in the Junior team event along side Alex Prosser of Tonypandy and then play in the under 15 event for the singles. Well done Chris and good luck.

Cadet County

Chris had a fantastic weekend pulling off some fantastic results and playing to a consistent high level for the whole weekend. If Chris keeps up these performances he will become a Welsh regular. Chris was in a team with:
Ryan Oyler
Callum Evans
Jac Jenkins
Soffi Jenkins
Caitlin Williams
Beth Roberts

New Ranking's After Welsh League

The new Junior Welsh rankings have been posted on the TTAW website following the first weekend of Welsh League. The Ferndale Boy's are ranked as follows:

Chris Griffiths - 6
Dylan Lewis - 9
Liam Winder - 10
Ethan Lewis - 22

In the Girl's category we have Charlotte Slye in joint 10th position with Laura Edwards and Faye Evans.

Well done to all players and hopefully by the end of the season we can have an improvement on all these rankings.

Community Club Cancelled 14th of Dec

Due to poor weather I have cancelled the Community club this evening. Hope this has not caused any trouble but travel conditions seemed too poor.

End of Year Message from Stephen Gertsen

Below is a message from Stephen for all players:

"Hello Ferndale players

Wow I can’t believe how fast a year has gone since I left Ferndale Table Tennis club!! I’m so glad to see that you are all still playing and competing in tournaments around Wales and England. Despite leaving I always look out for your results and keep a eye on your progression and will continue to do so. I enjoyed coaching all of you and it gives me a lot of satisfaction seeing that you are all still involved in the sport and enjoying playing. Keep working hard at Ferndale with the sessions provided by the mad Scott Jonhston.....

I would like to wish everyone at Ferndale a great Christmas and a Happy New year. Hopefully I will see you all soon in the near future.

PS. Are you all Swansea City supporters now as we are the only club in Wales going places......."
